LED cargo/dome lights. PICS!

chizel · Jan 4, 2007

This is the latest result of a night alone in the garage. I managed to come across a bunch of these neat little LEDs by Sloan LED and put 'em to good use. Quick and dirty install but it has that geek appeal..wires and all. I tied them in to the dome light circuit and they simply FLOOD the back half of the Jeep!

oo: It's almost too much. But I'm a light addict, what can I say?

Before LEDs - stock dome light

After!

WOW :goodjob:

EXCELLENT. Looks incredible! Proves why all non cpfers should look into better LED powered products. BTW I noticed that you are well prepared for emergencies.

That's awesome! Link is no good and I can't find them. Part # and description?

Nice job! Great improvement over OEM.

LowBat · Jan 4, 2007

I've seen a few members around here who have replaced their vehicle interior lighting with LEDs. It's really impressive and no doubt just a matter of time before the auto makers catch on.

EDIT: A belated welcome to CPF. I'm impressed you already got a set of custom license plates.

Did you have to drop the headliner?

Kitelights:

I fixed the link; you'll find the product under the Sign Lights link.

Mt. Blue:

I did not have to drop it, I just had to reach about 6 inches forward to where the rear cargo light is after removing the trim piece the LEDs are mounted on. It pops out easily.

Are you in the Seattle are also? Blue Jeep Cherokee with more lights on it than Hefner's studio.

About the other stuff. The box contains my backup battery (optima red top) and yes that's a capacitor on top. I can't say I noticed much improvement in the stereo or otherwise but it was only $20 and so I tried it. On the far bulkhead is a 1250 watt inverter and below that two relays for my roof rack mounted driving lights. To the right of the AC maker is a DC fuse block by Blue Sea Systems.

That's all the stuff you can see. To explain everything in the rest of the vehicle would take another thread. I'm not kidding!

As a matter of fact I DO run HID fogs! They're almost TOO bright to run when the pavement is dry.

oo:

Here's more LEDs I installed tonight. This time, it's the center console!
